Red Stain Radio: A Dead by Daylight Podcast

The Doomed Course chapter introduced us to The Houndmaster and Taurie Cain, two characters with lore that parallels each other in terms of longing and determination. This week, we discuss Portia and Taurie's background, how we view them in the fog, and what we hope they aspire to be in future lore entries.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Nothing screams the holidays like Resident Evil!
Capcom and BHVR have a great relationship, and there is a seemingly endless supply of Resident Evil games. So, could Dead by Daylight get a third Resident Evil chapter? We think so! Joining us this week is MisterSyrup, where we discuss what could be included in another Resident Evil sequel chapter.

Dead by Daylight could use a lot of quality-of-life features, such as prioritizing specific items in the bloodweb or more detailed survivor animations. We go through our QoL feature wishlist alongside our community's! We also discuss our thoughts on the Halloween chapter leaving the fog and the 10th anniversary news.

Dead by Daylight has long been Behaviour Interactive's baby, but they haven't had great PR this year. This week we take a look back at the year we've had, from the buggy Walking Dead release to the health update for the health update and beyond. We also discuss how BHVR has become a "one-hit wonder" studio, as all of its other developed games hadn't received the reception they had hoped for.

Stranger Things is returning to the Fog with Henry Creel (also known as 001 and 'Vecna') as the killer. While we don't yet know his power or the survivors, we discuss our hopes for this chapter. At the same time, we address the mixed criticism of Stranger Things getting a sequel chapter, such as having two Vecnas, the lackluster quality of life initiative, and controversial actors associated with the show.

Co-streamers BunniLosesTTV and CypherFallen join us this week to review the 9.3 update, which scraps the reworked anti-slugging and tunneling update. However, it does come with refinements to the anti-camping system, pallet density, and Skull Merchant.
Thank you, Bunni and Cypher, for joining us on this episode. You were terrific guests, and we'd love to have you back!

What is your favorite game mode or modifier in Dead by Daylight?
2v8 is back in full swing, and we're loving it — so much so that it's inspired this episode of the modes and modifiers we want to see in the future. Bryson also shares his thoughts on the latest PTB and Predator Badlands! 
Also, be sure to comment on this episode or send us an email if you're interested in a Discord community. Thanks so much for the support!

BHVR hosted a very casual community livestream, the first of its kind, that walked players through the 9.3 PTB. It includes the return of anti-slugging and tunneling mechanics, Skull Merchant buffs (and nerfs), perk changes, medkit add-on nerfs, and SCRATCH MARK COLORS!?!?! 
What do you think of the latest proposed changes?
